Hmmm... I'd have to disagree, especially for certain jobs (i.e. BRD, RDM, PLD, NIN, THF).

Probably from 1-10 requires the least skill but there is skill involved in the understanding of what it takes to level from 1-10 the most efficiently. I can now take a random melee job from 1-10 in a matter of hours where it had previously had taken me much longer. Part of this has to do with stats and part of it has to do with knowing how to play the game well.

After a while every job needs to be skilled. They need to understand the other jobs. They need to know where to stand. They need to know how to make skill chains. They need to know what they can open and close with and what properties the skillchain has. They need to understand what propeties the mobs have and what they might be especially weak to.

As for DRG... the lack of skill on the part of most DRGs is why I personalliy believe they don't get invites. I try to give DRGs a chance all of the time. I like DRG but they tend to attract a certain type of person (much like DRK does) that just doesn't get it. They never develop any skill in the game. This results in further alienation of the DRG population because people who do PT with DRGs PT with crappy ones 80% of the time.
I've taken my bard to lvl 50 actually the game is a no brainer dude. You jus thave to know what to do with your job, and have good timing. Thats pretty much the definition of a no skills game. You just need the knowledge of what to do and you're fine on this game.
